OTA Institute: Compliance Review Training

Description

Join us for a comprehensive Compliance Review Training hosted by the OTA on Thursday, September 26, at our headquarters in Westerville. Led by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), this full-day training provides a detailed exploration of the FMCSA/USDOT Compliance Review process.

The training breaks down the review process into segments aligned with the FMCSA Safety Management System's "BASIC(s)." Gain insights into the Cycle of a Roadside Inspection, understand the nuances of the SMS BASIC(s), and explore topics ranging from carrier-required documentation to investigations by BASIC (including unsafe driving, crash indicators, Hours of Service compliance, vehicle maintenance, Drug & Alcohol compliance, Hazardous Materials, and driver fitness).

This interactive session encourages attendees to actively participate by asking questions and voicing their comments and concerns. Attendees will receive a copy of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations Handbook and supplemental handouts. Breakfast and lunch will also be provided. The price to attend this training is $249 for OTA members and $449 for non-members.
